College and Community Innovation Program – Applied Research and Development Grants – NSERC (2022)
Description:
Applied Research and Development grants support research and development (R&D) projects led by college researchers in partnership with private sector, public sector or not-for-profit organizations based in Canada while encouraging collaboration with universities and/or other colleges.
The projects funded will
– provide partner organizations with access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian colleges and universities;
– train students in essential technical skills required by organizations in the private, public or not-for-profit sectors;
– provide benefits–economic, environmental, health or social–to the partner organization(s) and to Canada;
– allow a wide range of collaborations between different institutions and/or types of partners.
Comments on Funding:
The funding is in the form of a grant of up to $150,000 per year. The program duration is between 1 to 3 years. The partner company must collaborate actively in the project’s research (rather than contract for services rendered) and contribute at least 25 per cent of the grant amount in cash.
